Hey fifus, thanks for the input. We've had the /played, real timer, and load time removal discussions many times over the years in PoE1 and we discussed it again for PoE2. We are going to stick with real time at this point in time. This does not mean we will not revisit it at some point. However, we have not discussed having /played as an annotation and I will bring it up. I think there are definitely benefits to, at a minimum, having it as annotation
Fifus, the reason why /played isnt used is because its not accurate. Imexile tested it i believe and the closer you are to texas the less time it will say, making a difference of even a few minutes in a 1h run.
If you really want to compete and you have decent wifi, i 100% recomment nvidia geforce now. I have a macbook air 2020 that took 30s to load on POE1 but since i got a subscription to geforce now i have perma 120fps with every single graphic setting maxed out, even in poe 2.
Hey never speedran anything. I downloaded one of the three recommended timers, LiveSplit. My question is how do I set it to start once my character moves? Or do I have to manually press the button?
@Flicker_Monke There's no way to automate it in poe sadly, you have to manually press it. It's annoying at first but you should put your splits during load zones so you have time to click your hotkey. If you're interested in which different splits you should have for act 1 i can send you mine
My splits are setup as following @Flicker_Monke
I also wrote the pace that you should be aiming at for each split, if you're going for sub 1h, 55m, 50m, etc.
